Filter by:The purpose of this study will be to assess the effects of the use of masks on inspiratory muscle strength, metabolic parameters, heart rate, subjective perception of effort and the sensation of dyspnea before, during and after an aerobic test of 30 minutes long and a fixed load at lactate threshold. A randomized study of repeated measures will be carried out. A total sample of 35 active participants will be recruited. All participants will carried out a lactate threshold test and then 3 visits to the laboratory (separated at least 48 hours from each other) in order to perform 3 test of 30 minutes long without mask, with a surgical mask or with a FFP2 respirator (in a randomized order) at an intensity around lactate threshold intensity. Maximal inspiratory pressure, oxygen saturation, heart rate, blood lactate concentration, subjective perception of effort and dyspnea will be assessed before, during and after the 3 fixed intensity tests.
Fatigue of the respiratory muscles is one of the limitations of exercise at high intensity, although the mechanisms that explain it are not yet clear. This fatigue would cause a decrease in physical performance and could limit the functional capacity of the subject. In this sense, it has been shown that specific training of respiratory muscles, especially inspiratory muscles, improves their strength and resistance both in healthy people and in people with pathologies; managing to improve the quality of life and both physical and sports performance. This study, which follows the quantitative method and proposes an analytical, experimental, longitudinal and prospective design (with the aim of conducting a randomized clinical trial), proposes an intervention based on performing a specific training of inspiratory muscles for 8 weeks, taking 30 maximum inspirations at 60% of the PIM (maximum inspiratory pressure), 2 times a day for 5 days a week; with the aim of assessing the effects on inspiratory function, cardiorespiratory fitness when performing a stress test (Harvard step test) and diaphragm thickness measured by ultrasound. 40 healthy subjects between 18 and 25 years old will be recruited and divided into two groups: an experimental group (n = 20) and a control group (n = 20).
The effectiveness of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) and manual therapy approaches added to the IMT program in healthy individuals with hyperkyphosis is uncertain. This study was aimed to determine the effects of manual therapy techniques added to IMT and IMT on pulmonary functions (FVC, FEV1, FEV1 / FVC, and PEF), forward head posture, and hyperkyphosis in healthy individuals with hyperkyphosis. Thirty-five individuals voluntarily participate to study were randomly divided into IMT and manual therapy groups. While all participants received twenty minutes of IMT twice a week for four weeks, manual therapy techniques were applied to the manual therapy group in addition to IMT. Pulmonary functions, forward head posture, and hyperkyphosis were evaluated before and after the treatments with spirometry device; cervical range of joint range of motion measuring device (CROM Deluxe), C0-wall (OWD), and C7-wall distance measurement respectively. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 25.0) will be used to analyze the data in the research.
The COVID-19 infection, which is considered as a pandemic by the World Health Organization, affects the whole world. COVID-19 is an infectious respiratory disease caused by SARS-CoV-2. It is stated in early studies that after COVID-19 infection, there are adverse effects on both the peripheral and respiratory muscles along with the pulmonary system involvement. The purpose of our study; To examine the effect of Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) on respiratory muscle strength, respiratory functions and functional capacity in PostCOVID-19 patients. Patients who have been hospitalized and discharged with the diagnosis of COVID-19 in Istinye University hospitals, at least 6 weeks have passed since the infection, the PCR test has turned negative will be taken. The evaluation and treatment of the patients will be carried out in the Education and Research Units of Istinye University Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Department. Patients included in the study will be randomly divided into two groups, study and control groups. Demographic evaluation form, Post Covid Functional Status Scale, Charlson Comorbidity Index, Modified Medical Research Council (MMRC) Dyspnea scale, Corbin posture analysis, Respiratory function test, Respiratory muscle strength measurement, Respiratory Muscle Endurance measurement, 6-minute walking test (6 MWT) ), Peripheral Muscle Strength, Grip Strength, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Breathlessness Perception Questionnaire (BBQ) and Nottingham Health Profile Questionnaire will be used. In the study group, IMT will be applied at 40% of the maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) for eight weeks, every day of the week, twice a day for 15 minutes. The patients will come for a control once a week, the MIP values will be measured again and the new training intensity will be determined at 40% of the new MIP value. The control group will be given a constant training of 15 minutes at 10% of the MIP, twice a day, every day of the week for eight weeks. Evaluations of the study and control groups will be made at the beginning and after eight weeks.
This study was designed to assess the bioequivalence between the test products (Albuterol Sulfate Inhalation Aerosol 108 mcg Per Actuation) and the reference products (Proair HFA [Albuterol Sulfate] Inhalation Aerosol 90 mcg Per Actuation) in healthy volunteers under fasting conditions. The test product was considered bioequivalent to the reference product if the T/R ln-transformed AUC(0-t), AUC(0-inf), and Cmax were within 80.00-125.00% of those of the reference.
Inspiratory muscle weakness, limited functional exercise capacity and worse quality of life have been shown in patients with exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Recommendations from clinical practice guideline state that promoting pulmonary rehabilitation after exacerbation can improve the conditions above. Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has been proven to enhance inspiratory muscle strength and endurance in patient with stable COPD. However, there is less research on whether IMT in addition to pulmonary rehabilitation after exacerbation can benefit inspiratory muscle function, functional exercise capacity and quality of life in patients with COPD. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of IMT in addition to pulmonary rehabilitation on respiratory muscle function, functional exercise capacity and quality of life in patients with exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Even decade ago it was believed that the choice method of anesthesia did not affect the course of the oncological process, but recent evidence has begun to emerge that inhalation anesthesia vs TIVA is associated with a higher number of adverse outcomes. Apparently, it makes sense to conduct mRCT in order to assess the effect of IA on immune system in patients operated on for breast cancer comprehensively. The results of that kind of RCT may finally give us an answer whether the choice of anesthesia affects the immune status of patients undergoing surgery for breast cancer. The evaluation of complications and long-term survival will allow to recommend to use or not to use IA for this type of surgery. Objective: The Impact of Inhalation vs Total Intravenous Anesthesia on the Immune Status and Mortality in Patients Undergoing Breast Cancer Surgery
The purpose of this study is to look at the effect of using Mirtazapine to target a specific pathway in the body, that relies on a natural chemical the body produces called 'serotonin', in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) and non-injured persons during sleep. During this part of the study participants will be asked to take Mirtazapine (15mg per day) and a placebo in a random fashion, each for a one week period (drug period) of time followed by one week without drugs (washout period). The drugs will not be taken all at the same time, but each will be taken separately for one weeks followed by a night study to look at the effect the Mirtazapine/placebo pill has on the way the body responds during sleep.
The current study will investigate the tolerability and efficacy of inhaled Carragelose® versus saline in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. As SARS-CoV-2 replicates readily in the lung, it is planed to apply Carragelose® in an inhalative form. Hospitalized COVID-19 patients with respiratory symptoms will inhale Inhaleen for 5 days.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single dose of treprostinil palmitil inhalation powder (TPIP) in participants with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
